24 years after our debut stage adaptation of Fariduddin Attar's Conference of the Birds in London, we are pleased to be collaborating on this orchestral tribute to Attar's poetic masterpiece. Eleanor Martin, Associate Director of Khayaal, will be performing as one of a duo of narrators and declaimers of the arresting mystical poetry at interludes throughout the concert.
“How can love thrive in hearts impoverished and half alive?”
“Attar traveled through all the seven cities of love. While I am only at the bend of the first alley.”
“هفت شهر عشق را عطّار گشت
وما هنوز اندر خم یک گوچه ایم”
